Reflection: This was a romantic-themed poem that I wrote back in January of 2021 about a strong infatuation I had with someone I barely knew and only came into contact with occasionally. I used the haunting song “Another Thing” (and several other songs on the same album) by Homeshake playing in the background at low volume to create the “moodset” for this poem. If you listen to the song(s) at low volume while reading this poem, you might better get the “feel” of it.
